Du Kang motioned for Yuan to sit down. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

The two of them were slightly polite, Yuan Lai said less, but Du Kang kept talking.

With this tea, he talked about Nanzhou, and Du Kang naturally began to talk about some of the terroir and human feelings of Nanzhou.

Yuan Lai had never arrived in the south, and his knowledge of that area was limited to books and the gossip of merchants, because of those historical reasons, although Nanzhou was still the land of Daqi, compared to the north of Linjiang, the imperial court had a slightly less control over that area.

Of course, there are also officials and troops that should be there, but because Nanzhou has had many famous families since ancient times, most of the local officials are still born locally, which also makes it impossible for the airborne officials in the DPRK and China to do much.

Of course, Du Kang is not talking about these, but some small things that are more interesting in life.

This made Yuan Lai listen attentively, and slowly, the atmosphere between the two became slightly familiar.

In fact, the two of them didn't see each other much, and they talked even less, and this time could be said to be Yuan Lai's first contact with the elders of the Southern Sect.

The first impression is very important, and Du Kang gave Yuan Lai a very good impression that he can score ninety.

And he didn't know that Du Kang also spoke highly of him.

Neither humble nor arrogant, four words are easy to say, and it is easy to write on paper, but it is difficult to do, especially when Yuan Lai obviously has something to talk about this time, and Du Kang also knows this.

"The tea I brought from the sect, it's a pity that this pot is a little worse, my senior brother Lu has a good pot, but it's a pity that it's rarely shown to people. Du Kang smiled, lifted the lid of the tea set, and suddenly the fragrance rose, and there was a faint purple gas.

Yuan Lai took a deep breath, the aroma entered his heart, and he suddenly felt a little more relaxed.

He and Du Kang glanced at each other, and then the two of them silently sipped tea.

The window was still open, the cold wind poured in, carrying the old fine snow particles that had fallen from the previous sunset, and the charcoal brazier blown by the wind burned even more red, both of them were in the Three Realms, if they had the heart to avoid the cold, they only needed to keep running the vitality in the meridians in their bodies, but both of them coincidentally did not do so.

The weather is cold and winter, and the changes of the four solar terms contain the truth of heaven and earth, and the feeling of it is conducive to cultivating one's own small world.

Therefore, Yuan Lai can still feel the cold, the warm tea enters his stomach, and his whole body warms up.

The two of them drank two cups each, and Yuan Lai said, "When I came, I didn't expect to be able to drink the tea made by Elder Du himself. ”

"It's just the hospitality it should be. ”

Yuan Lai laughed at himself slightly: "It's a pity that in this place, I'm afraid not many people will treat me as a guest." ”

Du Kang smiled lightly and said, "Actually, if you want me to say, if you go to the door of other houses at this time, they will still treat you as a guest." ”

Yuan Lai asked rhetorically, "Other families, which one does Elder Du think I can go to?"

Du Kang glanced at him with some surprise, thought for a moment, and said with a smile: "You mean the first-class top sect?"

"Of course. ”

"Then why can't the other three go?"

Yuan Lai replied dryly: "Beizong and I have old grudges, not to mention those small things at the beginning, just say that Liu Chonghu wanted to kill me not long ago, I believe that now he only thinks more, not to mention, my relationship with General Shentu is already very deep, and the court has no reason to look at me anyway." ”

"Then there's the Shrine Temple. ”

Yuan Lai shook his head with a smile and said, "Elder Du doesn't have such a bad memory, what Lord Qianza did to me happened last night." ”

Du Kang smiled: "Lord Qianza was just anxious for a while, but he was worried about the safety of his disciples, so he acted in a hurry. ”

Yuan Lai said lightly: "Just now I asked General Han to return the colleagues who fought for the unfortunate souls in the small world to the major sects. ”

"Oh?"

"Among them, there are no disciples of Qiguangyuan. Yuan Lai put his fingers on the table and said, "The two disciples of Qiguang Academy unfortunately passed away, and they didn't even leave their whole corpses. ”

Du Kang's eyes sank, and he glanced at him several times before he nodded, and then sighed lightly before he said: "It seems that you can still go to the Taiyi Sect, although you and Tang Jingyan have some contradictions, but I think that this matter is nothing to be revealed, as long as you come to the door, I believe that Elder Tang will definitely agree to write off the grievances." ”

Yuan Lai nodded and said: "Indeed, the contradiction between me and Taiyizong is not big, and if it is small, it will be small, as long as I express some apologies in the past and talk about it again, it must be a big problem, but ......"

Yuan Lai suddenly pulled out a long voice and said with a smile: "However, I am not optimistic about them. ”

"Oh?"

"Elder Tang is actually not a person who is very suitable to come out and talk about things. Yuan Lai hesitated and said, "He has the inherent arrogance of a cultivator, and he holds his own identity, and his methods of doing things are also somewhat direct, and he is in a hurry, if I look at it, in fact, he is more suitable for penance in the sect and training disciples, and is not very suitable for coming out and showing up." ”

"But he had to come out, even if he was injured when he was in Linjiang, he still had to press the injury and come out to swim, I think it's not because of how dedicated he is, but because of ...... There really wasn't anyone else in the Taiyi Sect to replace him. ”

Yuan Lai smiled and said: "I heard that the Taiyi Sect has a long heritage and profound heritage, but it lacks sharpness, and the entire sect is in a state of twilight, and there are many people in the sect who are advanced in cultivation, but most of them like to hide in the mountains to practice, and are not good at interpersonal relationships, so that in recent years, they have not even been able to cultivate decent disciples." ”

He smiled and said, "Although it is still the fourth-ranked first-class sect in the continent, I don't think it's a good choice. ”

There was appreciation in Du Kang's eyes, and what Yuan Lai said was clear and frank enough, which made him happy, but he still couldn't help asking: "You say this, but it is equivalent to exposing your cards to me, which is not a good practice, I know that you are from a merchant, you should know that this is equivalent to exposing your shortcomings, and you will suffer a big loss." ”

Yuan Lai smiled bitterly when he heard this: "If I blindly don't suffer losses, then I just hold on to that small world and don't let go, and there is no need to come here." ”

Yuan Lai's answer was not very suitable for Du Kang's question, but this answer showed an attitude.

Du Kang nodded with satisfaction, and then said, "So, what do you want when you come to me?"

"Cooperation, win-win. ”

Yuan Lai seriously said these two words, which are somewhat new to this era.

Du Kang was surprised, but these two words themselves were easy to understand, and he immediately understood Yuan Lai's thoughts, and pointed out with a smile: "Sect Master Yuan means to be with my Southern Sect...... Cooperation?"

Yuan Lai nodded and said, "You can think that I want to do a business." ”

After a pause, he added: "Exclusive." ”

"Exclusive ......" Du Kang narrowed his eyes and smiled, "Even if we share it with everyone, we can still eat a large piece." ”

"But not the biggest piece. Yuan Lai said-for-tat.

"We don't have that much appetite. Du Kang said calmly.

Yuan Lai said with disbelief on his face: "Elder Du is not like a person with a small appetite. ”

He explicitly referred to Du Kang's stature and appetite, and secretly pointed out the ambition of the sect.

Du Kang was noncommittal, skipped the topic, and said: "You must know that if you eat together, you can also use the balance of many to fight for more benefits, but if there are only you and I who eat, then you can really only drink soup." ”

Du Kang's words were very clear, in this kind of matter, as an elder of the Southern Sect, he must eat as much as possible, in this regard, it is impossible to relax because of his personal appreciation for Yuan Lai and sympathy for the weak.

Yuan Lai never expected this, and when he heard this, he immediately said, "This is not necessarily, what if I can give you something more important than this armor removal world?"

Du Kang's eyes lit up, and he blurted out, "What is it?"
